The Lahore High Court on Wednesday rejected petition of Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi seeking ‘Peacock’ as election symbol in election.
The high court bench upheld the election commission’s decision with regard to the election symbol, which had allotted ‘donkey cart’ as symbol to Pervaiz Elahi.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan last Friday allowed Pervaiz Elahi to contest the February 8 elections.
A three-member SC bench headed by Justice Mansoor Ali Shah allowed the PTI leader to contest the general election from the PP-32 constituency of Gujarat district.
Elahi had filed a petition in the Supreme Court to seek permission to contest the general election. He made the election commission and appellate tribunal as respondents. He pleaded to the apex court to declare January 13, 2024, decision of the Lahore High Court as void.
